    Irish Red Ale Raging Red Irish Red Ale

    When I brewed this in November of 2021, I hit 1.012 FG. Hope that helps. I used 2 pkgs of California Ale Yeast (WLP001) for a 11gallon batch.

    Irish Red Ale Raging Red Irish Red Ale

    I just looked up caraRed compared to Caraaroma, and see the SRM is way different (20 vs 120 respectfully), and guessing this is my color issue. Womp womp

    Irish Red Ale Raging Red Irish Red Ale

    I made this last weekend, and I failed at the red color. This is Day 5 of fermentation and I think it needs more time (not at FG yet, currently at 1.012, will start taking measurements every 3 days). I realize the color comes from the ingredients and I couldn't get what was prescribed, but I...

    Fermenting in a corny keg?

    Thanks, I've done a bit of reading of doing primary fermentation under pressure (like 12psi), I decided to take that route, I know for some styles it is not advised but my understanding is for hoppy beers it helps with minimizing esters. Is there a reason you do not ferment underpressure to...

    Fermenting in a corny keg?

    @McKnuckle @moreb33rplz Follow up question: I have finally setup the corny kegs as primary fermentors and am using a spunding valve. I brewed a pale ale on 4/10/2021 and have active fermentation going on (the pressure is higher than when started). The question is, the spunding valve is releasing...

The quick back ground is i did several extract brews, enjoyed the process and wanted to go to the next stage. I...

    Please critique my HERMS workflow

    I am resurrecting this thread. I first want to say thanks to @A4J for providing the illustrator drawings. I ended up building my HERMS system as a copy cat, with a couple of changes (one being I am not using electric devices to control temps, instead propane burners and watching the...

    Fermenting in a corny keg?

    Thanks for the quick reply! Any idea if only putting 3 gallons in would cause problems? Would one want to excavate the air in the keg w/ CO2?

    Fermenting in a corny keg?

    Full disclosure: I just setup a BRUTUS type single tier HERMS setup using keggles. I havent ever done a AG brew (I've done many of the single pot and extract brews but decided to get more invested). I have a homemade 2 corny keg kegerator. Wanted to provide a tiny bit of context for my question...

    WTB 2tap tower

    Hi Piperbrew, I am interested in more details. Specifically what would you like for just the tap and then how much with the faucets? I am less interested in the faucets for I was thinking I'd buy the perlick flow control faucets ...but I'd listen to asking price. Thanks for reaching out!

    WTB 2tap tower

    I have a craigslist kegerator that has a single tap faucet (2.5" diameter). I can easily fit two corny's in this kegerator and thus want to upgrade to a dual tap. Anyone have one for sale? If so how much?
